A tricky school question

[@vincentrobinette1507]

I didn't think to multiply by 3 to clear the fraction. That actually makes it easier. I subtracted 2/3 from 3 to get 2-1/3. I then subtracted the 2 to leave 1/3.

1/3

C 1/3

Hago primero la suma y la recta 3 - 2 : 3 - 2 = 1 - 2:3 = 1:3

I get frustrated when I see this sort of question. In real life, an equation derived from some physical or mechanical engineering situation would be written unambiguously, by for example putting the 2÷3 inside brackets, so the intention is unambiguous. It's rare that people rely on these " rules". It would be careless.

1/3 is the answer.

3 - .666666 -2 = .333333 (c)1/3 = 333333
